Steps: 1. Add the coconut oil to a pan on high heat, then add in the following:

1. All the spices 2. Crushed garlic 3. Chopped leek 2. Brown the spices and leek, then add a dash (around 2-3 tbsp) of boiling water to prevent everything from burning. 3. Add in the sweet potato and sauté for around 10 minutes on lower heat. 4. Add all the remaining water, along with lentils , celery and kombu— and cook for 15 minutes 5. Once the lentils are done, add in the chopped greens and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. 6. Taste test to make sure it’s seasoned to your liking — if not, you can add a little extra spices here —good options: cracked pepper, additional salt, paprika, squeeze of lime, grass-fed ghee.
